The stellar and gaseous content of massive low surface brightness disk galaxies

This dissertation presents a multi-wavelength study of a subset of an extreme type of galaxy, those which have low surface brightnesses large disks, and large amounts of atomic gas, yet which have total dynamical masses similar to those of giant spiral galaxies. These systems may represent a signifi...
